    It's because they are small pictures and not thumbnails.

    Jim, What browser are you using? I may be able to offer more specific help if I know that.

    Thanks, that is good to know. It should actually work with any device that can access standard .html pages. It's a good alternative to any device without flash or with a smaller screen.

    Some of you have had problems for a long time with uploading your photos to the classifieds. If your pictures were too large, the ad would simply fail to post and give no indication as to WHY it didn't work. I have been working on that issue tonight and I think it will be much better now. First of all, if a picture is too large then it should automatically re-size them to fit. If your picture is HUGE...meaning 2 MB or something like that, it may still fail but should at least give you an error message now letting you know WHY it failed. I hope that this will make it easier for all who have had a problem. It is still best to re-size your pictures to no larger than 640 x 480 and no more than 200,000 bytes before you upload them.

    You just HAVE to don't you.

    I think you said before that you are using an Android? I have no way of testing it because I don't have one. When I go to that link with my Iphone, I get the login screen. After I login, I get a drop down menu of the three rooms available.

    For those of you who were looking for a solution to use the VRChat Room from your Iphones, Ipads, Androids, you can now do so at this link. The Iphone does not use flash so this is a html version of the room that then communicates with the Flash based chat room. I briefly tried it from my Iphone and it seems to work just fine. It is a streamlined version that does not have all the features available but does allow you to chat. Please give it a try. If it works OK, I will add a link to it in the menu bar. http://host718.123flashchat.com/venturerider/html-chat-login.html

    I am not going to get into the politics of all this. I will say that I agree that SOPA is a very badly written law that can do much harm to the internet as we know it. That being said, it amazes me this morning about all the uproar over WIkipedia being down for 24 hours. All the news channels making a such a big deal out of it and suggesting other sources of information for those that can't get through a day without Wikipedia. Come on folks...what the heck. I use Wikipedia and find it to be a useful source of info even if not always 100% accurate. I can assure you though that it being down for 24 hours or a week or forever is not going to have a severe impact on my life. I understand why they are doing what they are doing and I have no problem with it. I just don't understand why some are acting like it is the end of the world for people who can't access it for a day.

    and I just did some checking and found that I am completely wrong that the chat will not work on the Iphone. Haven't tried it through the standard Iphone browser but will do some checking and report back.

    Skid, I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that there is any application that would enable the chat room on the Iphone due to the fact that Apple does not support flash. Our chat room is a flash based application.

    I had actually forgotten that I had Forumrunner installed. When I first installed it, I had some problems and know that I disabled it for a few days. Apparently I re-enabled it and it is working OK now. I just looked and saw that there was an update available for it. Not sure what it addressed but I just updated it here.
  14. Freebird
    Glad it's working for you. I don't think many people use it but it's sure no problem to include it here.

    Maybe I'm not completely sure what you are looking for. Tapatalk is already installed here and you can download the Tapatalk app from the Itunes App Store. I would never consider raising the dues just to cover something that the majority would not use.

    Plastic can absolutely be chromed. I sold capital equipment for many years that did just that. There are a number of chrome shops around the country that offer chrome plating on plastic. It first involves a chemical copper coating called electroless copper and then is pretty much the same process as plating metal. I had several customers that used this process to chrome plate plastic grills for the various automotive companies. A lot of people think that they were all chromed using metal deposition but most, at least as late as 10 years ago, were actually chrome plated. The same general proocess is used for making circuit boards. All those conductive lines are plated onto a non-metallic board. It involves the same electroless copper process and then that is plated with tin or tin/lead and then copper or sometimes gold.

    Maybe I'm the one that doesn't understand. I haven't said anything about anybody trying to spam our classifieds. They try to register and then post or add links in their profile. Only supporting members can post ads in the classifieds so that hasn't been an issue.

    It's been that way for a long time. I figure if somebody joins here just to sell their bike in the classifieds, $12.00 is cheap enough.

    Well, there were 83 more spammers that tried joining last night. All intercepted this time. Very frustrating but all part of the game. I am really starting to hate gmail. About 95% of these spammers use free Gmail accounts. I have a number of different solutions in place to watch for them but it seems that sooner or later, they find ways around them. At this time I have 5 different solutions in place to watch for and automatically block them from registering. I had 4 in place until yesterday but too many were getting around all of those. I added a 5th one last night and it is working pretty well so far.

    Just got off the phone with Dano. He sounds good but has a ways to go. He is home but still going for physical therapy trying to get the full use of his arm back. Also said that his head still isn't 100% right and he is sleepy all the time. Otherwise, he is doing pretty fair though. That being said, I may be asking all of you who can to lend a financial hand. Those of you who know him know that Dan is a self-employed electrician. He has been off work a good while now and has no idea how long he will remain off. The doctors haven't even released him to drive, much less work. So, be prepared for the request and thank you in advance for understanding.

    Just a quick update. I did get a text message back from Rose. She said that everything is OK. Dan is napping right now and will probably call later. He's doing OK but a bit down in the dumps because he can't work yet.

    Just so you all know, we are getting HAMMERED with spammers right now. Over the past 3 days, there have been around 150 attempts by spammers to join our site and post their crap. Only 3 of them have succeeded in actually getting by the protections that I have in place and I caught and deleted 2 of those before they ever managed to make a post here. One did manage two posts before I caught and banned him. It's a never ending battle. I honestly don't understand what they hope to accomplish. First of all, even if they manage to register, it will be a very short lived experience for them. Second of all, do they not understand that NOBODY is willing to do business with a spammer? Even if they have a good price on a decent product, I would never give them a dime of my money.

    Anybody heard from Dano lately? I tried his cellular phone yesterday and left him a message but have not heard from him in a while. I hope that everything is OK. We miss you Dano.

    I got a call from Ponch today. Unfortunately, I missed the call. Tried calling him back but got his voice mail. I tell you though, it was wonderful hearing his voice again. He mentioned that he had forgotten his password for the site so I reset it for him and left him a message as to what it is. Also sent him an email with the information so I sure hope that we see him on here soon. It's been way too long and he has been missed.
